History

C-3PO encounters Jabba's gatekeeper droid.

Jabba Desilijic Tiure used a sadistic TT-8L/Y7 to guard the gate to his palace on Tatooine. It would let R2-D2 and C-3PO into the palace in 4 ABY, who were delivering a message from Luke Skywalker.

A similar droid guarded Ka'Pa's palace and didn't allow Mara Jade audience. Mara had to be disguised as a Tusken Raider in order to fool the droid.
